Hello everyone,

 

v-qiuyu-msft I have similar  issue as Bri3838. Thing is I use custom .json with our company colors. Your example use Waveform.json which Power BI provides with Theme funcionality. Cant issue be here?

 

For more - I found that export of KPI visual to .ppt doesnt show Goal and Distance which should be displayed under Value. 

 

Best,

Jiri

    I have similar issue.  I have a custom theme based on my companies branded colors.  I use the them in the service but when I export to Power Point they default back to standard PBI colors.  Will this be updated soon or is there something I can do to maintain the theme? 

     

    Thanks,

    EB
